Navigating MLB Winter Meetings: Bridging the Gap Between Insights and Action
My takeaway from the Major League Baseball (MLB) Winter Meetings is simple.
The widespread technology available throughout MLB Organizations has never made identifying and developing critical insights on at-risk pitchers easier.
However, there is a significant limitation on the number of persons capable of taking these insights and walking across the bridge to deliver simple and practical solutions that empower players to add value for themselves and the organization.
This process involves optimizing biomechanical inputs for prolonged and enhanced outputs.
Trust needs to be established with the players. The insights on how to help propel their careers need to be clearly communicated. Then, it's time to get to work and "fix" potential issues before they arise.
The visual clearly shows a pitcher becoming more at risk with each start. The evidence is there to suggest an immediate course of action. Who's that person in the organization who can quickly mitigate the risk before the injury occurs?
